Parthenocarpy in Summer Squash [PDF]

HortScience, 1999
Summer squash (Cucurbita pepo L.) cultivars were compared for ability to set parthenocarpic fruit. Some cultivars set no parthenocarpic fruit and others varied in the amount of fruit set when not pollinated. The degree of parthenocarpy varied with season, but the relative ranking of cultivars for parthenocarpy was generally similar.

Cross-talk between the cytokinin, auxin, and gibberellin regulatory networks in determining parthenocarpy in cucumber

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Cucumber is a model plant for studying parthenocarpy with abundant slicing- and pickling-type germplasm. This study was undertaken to understand the role of the important cytokines (CKs), auxin (AUX) and gibberellin (GA) biosynthesis and degradation ...

The parthenocarpic gene Pat-k is generated by a natural mutation of SlAGL6 affecting fruit development in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)

BMC Plant Biology, 2018
Background Parthenocarpy is a desired trait in tomato because it can overcome problems with fruit setting under unfavorable environmental conditions.

Floral Development on Vitis vinifera Is Associated with MADS-Box Transcription Factors through the Transcriptional Regulation of VviZIP3

Plants, 2023
Several grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) cultivars show a tendency to develop parthenocarpic seedless grapes, affecting fruit yield and quality. This reproductive disorder originates in defective ovule fertilization due to a failure in pollen tube growth ...

Pacific Bananas: Complex Origins, Multiple Dispersals? [PDF]

, 2008
This paper reviews recent genetic evidence for the origins of the traditional cultivated bananas of the Pacific, and shows that they are unexpectedly complex. Current assumption of their prevailing west-to-east spread from Southeast Asia into the Pacific

Small RNAs in plants: recent development and application for crop improvement [PDF]

, 2015
The phenomenon of RNA interference (RNAi) which involves sequence specific gene regulation by small non-coding RNAs i.e small interfering RNA (siRNA) and micro RNA (miRNA) has emerged as one of most powerful approaches for crop improvement. RNAi based on

Effects of the sliaa9 Mutation on Shoot Elongation Growth of Tomato Cultivars

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Tomato INDOLE-3-ACETIC ACID9 (SlIAA9) is a transcriptional repressor in auxin signal transduction, and SlIAA9 knockout tomato plants develop parthenocarpic fruits without fertilization. We generated sliaa9 mutants with parthenocarpy in several commercial

Parthenocarpy-related genes induced by naphthalene acetic acid in oil palm interspecific O × G [Elaeis oleifera (Kunth) Cortés × Elaeis guineensis Jacq.] hybrids

Frontiers in Genetics, 2023
Parthenocarpy is the development without fertilization of seedless fruits. In the oil palm industry, the development of parthenocarpic fruits is considered an attractive option to increase palm oil production.
